About the Boards
This chapter provides detailed information about the three boards (CPU, Debug,
Personality) and the locations of the connectors and switches for each.
CAUTION
Your PDK arrives housed in a plastic device enclosure, which under
normal circumstances you should not remove. However, the PDK
documentation set includes information for board-level components, and
also explains in some documents how to assemble the boards into the
enclosure. Should you need to work directly with the boards, please use
great caution in handling the components:
–
–
To remove or work with the boards, use static precautions.
To remove or add the enclosure, first read the enclosure assembly instructions
carefully and note which areas are delicate, such as the speakers.
About the 3-Stack Platform System
Freescale introduces the 3-Stack Platform System, which you use to develop multimedia
and connectivity applications using the i.MX27 Applications Processor and the MC13783
Audio and Power Management device.
The 3-Stack Platform System decreases the time between first development and final
product release by providing you (as the system designer) with a near-to-final product
design, which you can use as a development platform for software and hardware.
There are two Board Support Packages (BSP) for the 3-Stack Platform System, with one
BSP for Windows Embedded CE™ 6.0, and one BSP for Linux operating systems. These
BSPs contain drivers optimized for multimedia operations using the i.MX27 and
MC13783 devices.
Freescale's 3-Stack Platform System consists of three small boards: CPU, Debug, and
Personality.
• A CPU board contains the i.MX27 CPU, memories, and the MC13783 Power
Management IC (PMIC).
• A Debug board provides the debug interfaces (such as JTAG), and also has a CPLD
that implements an external Ethernet and serial controller for debug purposes.
• The Personality board implements the functionality of the 3-Stack board, and
contains hardware for Wi-Fi connectivity, FM receiver, and so on. The Personality
board can be modified to meet your specific requirements without the need to modify
the other two boards (CPU, Debug). The Personality board was designed to support

connector and TV-Out connector. As the 3-Stack platform continues to evolve, more
Personality boards will be created to meet new multimedia requirements. Table 1.1

Build the Platform
This chapter explains how to connect the three types of 3-Stack boards (Debug,
Personality, CPU) together, to make either a development platform (Personality board +
CPU board + Debug board), or a demonstration platform (Personality board + CPU
board); and how to connect the 3-Stack platform to your PC. See Figure 3.1.

The three 3-Stack boards in your development kit may already be assembled. If the three
boards are already assembled, review the procedures in the following sections, and be sure
to configure the Debug board appropriately.
• To build a development platform, follow the procedures in “Build a Development
Platform: Assemble Three Boards” on page 17.
• To build a demonstration platform, follow the procedures in “Build a Demo
Platform: Assemble Two Boards” on page 21.

This section explains how to make a demonstration platform using the Personality and
CPU boards.
To make a demonstration platform, the CPU board is directly connected to the Personality
board using the 500-pin connector; the Debug board is not used.
NOTE
If your system is already configured as a development platform (using all three
boards), disconnect all boards from each other.

Using the Demo Image
This chapter explains how to use the touch panel and stylus to load the multimedia content
to the 3-Stack board, using the provided demo image.
Touch Pad Calibration Tool
After you have assembled the 3-Stack board and powered it up, the Windows Embedded
CE 6.0 image that was loaded to the board will boot up. The first image you will see is the
touch pad calibration tool, which displays a cross in the center, as shown in the partial
screen image in Figure 4.1.

Touch Pad Calibration Tool
To calibrate the Touch Panel, follow these steps:
1. Using the stylus pen, click on the cross.
The cross will move to the four corners of the screen. If the calibration error is too
large, the program will reset and the process will have to be repeated. When the touch
panel calibration is successful, the following message is displayed:
2. Tap with the stylus pen in any part of the screen.

There are three ways to load multimedia content to the 3-Stack board using the Windows
Embedded CE 6.0 image provided:
• Using Active Sync
• Using an SD Card
• Using a USB Card
Using Active Sync
Active Sync is a very useful tool to use with a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 device. To
obtain the Active Sync download and instructions, go to:
Once Active Sync is installed, you can set up communication between your host PC and
the 3-Stack board.
To establish a communication between the Host PC and the 3-Stack board, follow these
steps:
1. Make sure that the 3-Stack board is ON and running the Windows Embedded CE 6.0
image.

3. Use the A to mini AB USB cable provided in your i.MX27 MAX WPDK kit and
connect the mini AB end to the J10 USB OTG connector on the Personality board,
then connect the other end to the any available USB port on your Host PC.
Windows will recognize the 3-Stack board as a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Device
and the Active Sync wizard will appear on the Host PC (Figure 4.3).
